England may have suffered a heartbreaking defeat in the World Cup semi-finals on Wednesday night, but the loss hasn’t stopped ‘Three Lions (It’s Coming Home)’ from storming to the top of the Official UK Singles Chart.

On Friday evening it was announced that the Baddiel And Skinner’s collaboration with The Lightning Seeds is number one, with a weekly combined sales total of 79,779.

George Ezra – who had actively campaigned for his fans to help ‘Three Lions’ top the chart – wound up in second place with 3,500 fewer sales of his track ‘Shotgun’.

Announcing the news on Radio 1, Scott Mills said: “England gave us everything at this World Cup. The whole country got swept away with it.

“Three Lions being the official number one shows how we really got behind our amazing team.”

When it was recorded in 1996, ‘Three Lions’ was named the England team’s official anthem and had two seperate stints at the top of the charts.
